- Yvette proposes this is a user agent issue. Does anyone disagree?
- 20:24:12 [wendy]
- Harvey Bingham's suggestions and concerns are beyond the scope of WCAG.
- 20:24:12 [wendy]
- These are user agent issues. This guideline should make structure seperate
- 20:24:12 [wendy]
- from presentation, and then the user agent guidelines will make sure the
- 20:24:12 [wendy]
- structure is used by the user agents in an appropriate way. I propose to

- does human testable mean "9 out of 10 humans will come up with the same solution"?

- Wendy are you still hearing the buzzing? Am I still muted?
- 20:29:49 [wendy]
- yes, i'm hearing the buzz.
- 20:30:05 [wendy]
- is this exact wording proposed? if so, need something better than "human testing."
- 20:30:14 [wendy]
- we should define that more specifically.
- 20:30:32 [wendy]
- how to define, should be an action item. someone should do research to find out a good number.
- 20:30:47 [wendy]
- a recommendation for how many testers should be used to make a decision.

- 20:34:45 [wendy]
- feel that we're locking out people. saying "it is testable" means can only say "yes/no." could technically be a no, but find a solution that also works.

- the working group believes these are human testable in a fashion that is consistent among testers.
- 20:40:54 [wendy]
- this is not a description of what you need to do on your site. these are judgements made by this group.
- 20:41:37 [MichaelC]
- Regarding tables for layout - as I said in my list response [http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2004AprJun/0084.html] I think we have to "permit" and describe the accessible use of layout tables. But I don't think the guidelines should address this, it should be an issue for HTML techniques. The one guideline under which this could be an issue is 4.1 [http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-WCAG20-20040311/#use-spec]. Layout tables do not violate Leve
- 20:41:41 [wendy]
- it (the wcag wg) either believed it was machine-testable (b/c of knowledge about a test). or believe to be human testable.

- q+ gian
- 20:42:27 [wendy]
- ack Paul
- 20:42:47 [wendy]
- it sounds as if the type of thing that gian is doing on her own sites is human testing.
- 20:43:37 [wendy]
- don't like talking about percentages. if talking about HIRR, there is a scale (8 out of 10). but then have to talk about
- 20:43:42 [wendy]
- how many people out of 10 are acceptable.
- 20:43:52 [wendy]
- don't want to pin down an exact number.
- 20:43:59 [wendy]
- instead, describe the process/what we mean.
- 20:44:11 [wendy]
- ack gian
- 20:44:30 [wendy]
- we don't really know the requirements that people have for their sites.

- 20:44:59 [wendy]
- if you have a site aimed at helping dyslexics at school audience will be different than a medical site.
- 20:45:39 [wendy]
- is "clear and simple" testable in that example. no.
- 20:46:22 [wendy]
- are we allowing for people to have different sets of requirements? (depending on audience, requirements, goals, etc.)
- 20:46:33 [wendy]
- not testable in a way that we can clarify in wcag
- 20:46:37 [wendy]
- ack michael
- 20:47:25 [wendy]
- we could test teh guidelines and see how reliable the results are. help us determine if we are correct in our belief that these are reliably testable.
- 20:48:31 [wendy]
- yes there is implementation testing phase (CR) but would not have the formality of data that michael describes.
- 20:49:48 [wendy]
- q+ to say, "would like to hear more about michael's proposal"
- 20:49:54 [wendy]
- ack matt
- 20:50:12 [wendy]
- when it comes to human communication, absolute is not an option.
- 20:50:29 [wendy]
- there are no broadly applicable rules
- 20:50:51 [wendy]
- not knocking the needs of people with cognitive disabilities, but that people with 180 iqs can talk past each other.
- 20:51:13 [wendy]
- we can not (via the web) determine when we have lost a user (i.e., they are not understanding us)
- 20:51:28 [wendy]
- do not think we will ever be able to test any bit of human communication
- 20:51:34 [wendy]
- gian - but we still want people to try
- 20:51:49 [wendy]
- matt sure. but we can't put it in a normative document

- ack wendy
- 20:52:21 [Zakim]
- wendy, you wanted to say, "would like to hear more about michael's proposal"
- 20:53:28 [wendy]
- would like to see for each guideline that is not automatically testable, see a test made (sample web pages), have reviewers review against criteria (stats? not sure how many reviewers need)
- 20:53:40 [wendy]
- could be done scientifically by usability expert.
- 20:54:40 [wendy]
- people should send example sites to the list, WG could review and determine which cause problems or not.
- 20:54:53 [wendy]
- however, want to ensure reliability to results and formality would help.
- 20:56:49 [MichaelC]

- q+
- 20:58:58 [wendy]
- do we decide, it's not testable and get rid of it OR kind of testable and keep?

- ack matt
- 20:59:13 [wendy]
- fog - testable, but not proven to be beneficial.
- 20:59:36 [wendy]
- if run fog on medical, accounting, etc. type of site, just by shrinking syllables is not sufficient.,
- 20:59:41 [wendy]
- must look at the words you are using.
- 20:59:45 [DoyleB]
- hand up
- 21:00:19 [wendy]
- it is people's difficulty to communicate. numbers can not dictate what "understandable" is. it changes from person to person.
- 21:00:44 [wendy]
- in determining if we keep, we either drop it as a success criteria or say "on some level testable" and keep or drop testability
- 21:01:30 [wendy]
- ack gian
- 21:01:44 [wendy]
- propose drop requirement for testability.
- 21:02:33 [wendy]
- we can't really say, "you should comply to test x"
- 21:02:57 [wendy]
- instead, "make it aimed at your audience." then it is up to the site owner to define what they want to comply with.
- 21:03:09 [wendy]
- ack doyle
- 21:03:32 [wendy]
- we can't force developers to write for anyone other than whom they presume who their audience is
- 21:03:50 [wendy]
- if we do write something, then we need to say that authors know their audience.

- q+
- 21:04:58 [wendy]
- don't expect someone on medical site to use non-medical words. e.g., drug names.
- 21:05:02 [MattSEA]
- q+ to say perceivable is perceivable
- 21:05:05 [wendy]
- if person doesn't understand, not the author's fault
- 21:05:27 [wendy]
- graphics sites, that's a different issue. it's similar in that we derive visual info in a way that needs to be perceived in a different way. apples and oranges.
- 21:05:29 [wendy]
- ack loretta
- 21:05:48 [wendy]
- if we let go of making things testable, crashes into our goal of guidelines that are usable in legislation.
- 21:06:05 [wendy]
- we could go back and decide which is more important, but tied together.
- 21:06:08 [wendy]
- ack sailesh
- 21:06:16 [wendy]
- requirement for testability is important. should not drop.
- 21:06:31 [wendy]
- for clear and simple: could say level 1 and 2 are testable. level 3 are best practices.
- 21:06:48 [wendy]
- ack tom
- 21:07:36 [wendy]
- language is unique in that the ability to comprehend complex language, indicates that someone might have trouble interpreting other parts of the site.
- 21:08:03 [wendy]
- it's important that if there is a distinction, we need guidance. we can't ignore language, but it may need to be treated differently.
- 21:08:26 [wendy]
- it's unreasonable for a site to dumb-down language if the concepts are beyond the understanding of some readers.
- 21:08:34 [wendy]
- ack gvan
- 21:08:49 [wendy]
- using plain language is currently at level 3.
- 21:08:57 [wendy]
- have not talked about "dumbing things down."
- 21:09:13 [wendy]
- we do have a provision for things that are not testable (in the gateway)
- 21:09:25 [wendy]
- if they are not testable, should not be in guidelines
- 21:09:38 [wendy]
- gian - that's what afraid of. won't be in guideline.
- 21:09:40 [wendy]
- ack matt
- 21:09:40 [Zakim]
- MattSEA, you wanted to say perceivable is perceivable
- 21:09:55 [wendy]
- should image sites say people who are blind are not in target audience?
- 21:10:03 [wendy]
- perceivable is own category
- 21:10:34 [wendy]
- gvan concern that people say "people with disabilities are not in the target audience"
- 21:10:48 [wendy]
- ack gian
- 21:12:05 [wendy]
- concern that everything related to cog disabilities relegated to level 3
- 21:12:09 [wendy]
- ack jason
- 21:12:42 [wendy]
- if a success criterion is not reliably testable then it is not possible for anyone to detremine reliably if they have met it and thus should not be part of conformance scheme.
- 21:13:25 [Zakim]
- -Paul_Bohman
- 21:14:01 [wendy]
- we have to distinguish between testable requirements to determine conformance and [case 1]
- 21:14:51 [wendy]
- case 1 = providing best advice possible irrespective if testable or not
- 21:15:02 [wendy]
- ack gian
- 21:16:13 [wendy]
- we need to allow for human judgement
- 21:17:26 [sh1mmer]
- q+
- 21:17:31 [sh1mmer]
- ack Tom
- 21:17:31 [wendy]
- identify that people have to do something, even if they define what that something is
- 21:17:32 [wendy]
- ack tom
- 21:17:53 [wendy]
- do we have to make sure that any site w/any type of content has to conform to all levels?
- 21:18:20 [wendy]
- if someone has a tv station, do we have to make sure they can get level a w/all of their content? all multimedia, programs (captioning), alt-language version of captions, etc.
- 21:18:21 [wendy]
- ?
- 21:19:04 [wendy]
- do we require all conformance levels for all types of content (including scientific content)? the actual meaning and language? achieve all levels w/all of those?
- 21:19:59 [wendy]
- asking question "do things need to be testable" but we're only talking abut one example.
- 21:20:22 [wendy]
- this is a fundamental question that we need to answer to move forward.
- 21:20:31 [wendy]
- at minimum, a working answer to try on for the next while.
- 21:20:59 [wendy]
- however, jason suggests it is not a question we can ask. do we have a choice if requirements need to be testable?
- 21:23:17 [wendy]
- can you have "advice" in w3c doc that is separate from what is required? yes, "informative vs normative" sections are common.
- 21:24:53 [wendy]
- gian proposes that success criteria do not need to be testable. she doesn't want to lock out some guidelines.
- 21:26:05 [wendy]
- if you lock out guidelines b/c we can not define them in a testable manner, then we run the risk of locking out guidelines that people find useful and that increase the accessibility of content.
- 21:26:19 [wendy]
- onus should be on site owner how they apply the checkpoint.
- 21:26:32 [wendy]
- those checkpoints that help should be in there, even if not testable.
- 21:26:47 [wendy]
- they should not be relegated to highest level (3) because we can not define them in a certain way.
- 21:26:58 [wendy]
- they should be defined in way that is most assistive to people with disabilities.

- 21:29:41 [wendy]

- 21:30:12 [wendy]
- does anyone object to having all success criteria be testable? gian
- 21:30:23 [MattSEA]
- q+
- 21:30:34 [wendy]
- those that are testable are fine
- 21:32:07 [MattSEA]
- q-
- 21:36:49 [wendy]
- the distinction between level 1 and level 2 is that level 1 doesnot constrain author and level 2 does.
- 21:37:02 [wendy]
- the point of "minimum accessibility" is nowhere in defn of level 1, 2, or 3
- 21:37:29 [wendy]
- now, we are adding that. when we categorize as level 1 and 2, was this considered? or do we need to retake a look at the success criteria from that standpoint?
- 21:37:40 [wendy]
- "minimum" came from discussion of last week.
- 21:38:08 [wendy]
- if author doesn't do it, no one can do it later.
- 21:38:28 [wendy]
- (that's level 1)
- 21:38:38 [wendy]
- level 2 - things the author can do to make content more directly accessible
